Try Google.

The move order seems to be 1. d4 c5 2. d5 f5.

As I remember, it was named after the flats that GM Jon Levitt lived in when he played it. There's apparently a page on his website about it at http://www.jlevitt.dircon.co.uk/clarendon.htm though it seems to be down at the moment. I believe he also made a DVD about it, though I've never seen it.

What the ideas are, I'm not sure. I've never played it myself, though I have faced it. About all I know from the white side is to get e4 in quickly.
